   Summary

   From the personal journal of John H. Watson, MD.
   I was so alone, writing to my last acquaintance: myself. Not even a friend then, just an acquaintance; a man I knew little of and cared for even less.

   Recollections on moving into Baker Street, dealing with pain and recovery, and getting to know Sherlock Holmes.

   Bookmarker's Notes

   I love the focus on Watson's struggles with disability and addiction. It feels very real.

   Every Sherlock Holmes fan should read this (and all of average138's works, for that matter).
